These head holders are designed to facilitate the transmission 'orreceiving of long telephone messages, the user ofthe telephone having his hands free for writing down the messages. m The head rest for telephones according to the invention differs from the commonly used devices of known type in that the holding device proper consists of a box adapted to be closed in outward direction by a lid 1 part, designed to be laid against the ear of the user. and open in this direction, the

internal dimensions of the box corresponding approximately to the dimensions of the earpiece of the telephone, the side wall of the 29 box'being cut out in the front portion so that the cut out portion extending from the outer rim of the box corresponds to the thickness of the telephone handle. When the earpiece of the telephone has been placed into the box and when this box has been closed. the telephone is securely held in the correct position for talking and hearing. The telephone can be easily removed from the head rest and put back. As no screws or other fixing means have to be operated to place the telephone into the head rest or to remove it from this head rest, these manipulations are facilitated and can be carried out very rapidly.
